'Tomorrow' and 'Here Comes The Sun'

David and The Beatles again. This time because of George Harrison.

We all know about the DC's friendship with John Lennon, and he also knew Paul McCartney quite well. 

In 1975 David was one of the guests invited on board the famous cruise liner, the Queen Mary, at Long Beach in California. Celebration party for the recording end of the Paul McCartney and Wings highly anticipated album, 'Venus and Mars'. After the great success of their previous album, 'Band On The Run', fans and music critics all over the world were waiting for it. Even in communist Poland. I remember when I heard 'Venus and Mars' for the first time on Polish Radio. Maybe I even read about that party, but of course had no idea DC was there. 

The party took place on March 24, 1975, and thanks to Henry Diltz we have one pic from it with David, in conversation with his friends from 'America', Dan Peek and Dewey Bunnell . There were about 200 guests, amazing names. George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Carole King, Marvin Gaye, Harry Nilsson, The Jackson Five, Cher and Bono, Jose Feliciano, Phil Everly, Micky Dolenz and Davy Jones and many more.

And of course DC recorded an amazing cover of a Paul McCartney song. Tomorrow. It should have been a great hit..

What a fabulous, wonderful singer David was..He could sing everything.

We don't know if David met and talked with George Harrison during that party. It wasn't his style to brag about acquaintances, it speaks volumes about DC that there is not a single pic with him and John Lennon or Paul McCartney. But we know how he loved The Beatles..

Anyway today I'm thinking about George Harrison myself. Tomorrow will be the 21st anniversary. George Harrison died on November 29, 2001, in Los Angeles. He was only 58. And one song wrote by George was very special for David. 'Here Comes The Sun'. I've read once, that in the 80s, when DC was in the darkest, most unpappy and in debt, that song brought him hope and light.

Robyn Millan

  I learnt yesterday that Robyn Millan died last year. Someone published a post about the TPF's episode where she'd appeared as a guest star, 'Dora, Dora, Dora', Season 2 episode 1, aired 50 years ago, on September 17, 1971..And there was a comment about that episode that the script was poorly written, sexist etc. Maybe, no one would dare write something like that now, but the world looked different half a century ago..And I really felt sad yesterday because of Robyn. She started her short career in 1965, 33 credits, mostly tv roles - Mission:Impossible, The F.B.I, Hawaii 5.0, Ryan's Hope..But we would remember her as Dora, the girl Keith fell in love with, and Robyn, the girl David dated for a while.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmZnk9RFKm0&t=1s  In December 1971 on Photoplay Magazine an interview with Robyn was published :' He is just marvellous and really knows how to handle his success.(..) We hit it off from that first day six months ago.(..) I resp...

Love Is All That I Ever Needed. A David Cassidy Biography. Chapter 1

  Chapter 1 The Divorce David Bruce Cassidy was born on April 12, 1950 in New York City. He was born into show business, it was running in his blood. His parents were young and glamorous working actors. Jack Cassidy was 23 years old, Evelyn Ward 3 years older, both very busy with their career, frequently touring and absent. David spent his early years with his maternal grandparents in West Orange, New Jersey, just 20 miles from New York. He felt he was different from other kids, didn’t exactly fit in, his school friends’ parents didn’t look like his, they had ordinary jobs, like his grandfather, Frederic Ward, who all his life worked as a utility meter reader. David was a small child, slightly built, and had to wear glasses. During his life he underwent 5 eye operations. It wasn't easy to be the youngest, and not to have a brother or a sister. Someone to fight with, but also to play with, and to share love, good and bad experiences. He was a lonely child, brought up by honest,...

'He Was So Pretty You Couldn't Look Away..'

'and sexy in a way that is timeless.' It's from Kevin Fallon's article published on www.thedailybeast.com on November  22, 2017.  Maybe it's not the smartest thing to do, but the newest article about David Cassidy on Record Collector Magazine, and first of all different pointsview of it, made me have a look on some articles published after this horrible day,  November 21, 2017. But first a song. We experience another heat wave here in Poland, I haven't seen a rain in many days, which is scary, so maybe a song about a rainy day. We miss David on any day, and this is one of his best songs. And amazing, very moving tribute video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJ6qjfK72L8 We have 42 web articles from November and December 2017, on the website, and I can't see Kevin Fallon's on the list, even that I'm sure I sent it Jane last year, because this is not the first time I'm writing about this article. I'm a former librarian, I believe everything sho...
